Chapter 22 Death from illness

Jiang Xinyao didn't plan to take over Cui Yuxuan, and wanted to throw this hot potato directly to Jiang Quan.

Jiang Quan shook his head and said with a righteous face: "How can Miss lose her trust to the master?" If you should do it, you need to do it. Although I, Jiang Quan, am not a good person, but I still know the words loyalty, you can rest assured, from today onwards, Miss's words are just like the words of the master. From now on, you are my master, please come with me to Zhuangzi tomorrow. ”

Jiang Xinyao smiled bitterly, she was wondering if she had not expressed herself firmly enough just now, making him mistakenly think that she was playing a trick of retreating and advancing. You must know that not only pies will fall from the sky, but also stones, if you don't get it right, you will stone people to death, and she still wants to go back alive with this little life.

Jiang Quan observed his words, his eyes flashed, he suddenly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Xin Yao, and said solemnly: "Miss, if you don't answer, I can only kneel for a long time." ”

Jiang Xinyao couldn't wait to slap it over. He couldn't kneel for a long time, he thought he was making a movie, and even used threats. If he shouldn't go down again, he will not be splashed with blood for five steps, touching the pillar and dying.

Xin Yao felt a sudden pain in her temples.

The study was silent.

One knelt straight with his chest straight, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, and looked at death as if he were home.

A chair slumped slumped, with a sad face, and a demented appearance that wanted to cry without tears.

Half an hour later, the demented man surrendered first very spinelessly, and discussed with kind words: "This matter is not in a hurry, let me think about it again, what do you think?" ”

The hero is indifferent, if you don't want to, I will die in front of you.

Jiang Xinyao felt as if she had just finished running a thousand meters, with her mouth open, her tongue sticking out, and she was indescribably tired.

The demented man looked at the hero expressionlessly, and the hero did not show weakness and looked back sincerely. It's like a killer full of weapons and hidden arrows, but he is facing unarmed women and children, and the whole one has no way to start.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Xinyao raised the white flag convincingly, and sighed for a long time: "Jiang Quan, you have won!" When my grandfather is gone, give it to me again, now I don't have that mind, get up! ”

Jiang Quan stood up in response, clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Miss is benevolent and righteous, Jiang Quan admires it, and I have to ask Miss for something." ”

Xin Yao waved her hand and said, "I know what you're worried about, so I'll say it's easy to change the master." A small shop, and it doesn't make money, who will rob it? ”

Jiang Quan sneered and said, "Do as Miss instructs, please don't forget what Miss said today." With that, he clenched his fists and came out.

Jiang Xinyao was angry.

This guy doesn't like words, do I have a face that is out of my ears? Still snorting coldly, you have the ability, you go to your grandfather and snort coldly.

In the evening, Xin Yao drank a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge. After washing, I felt uncomfortable and climbed into bed early.

……

Dongmei waited for Miss to fall asleep and started needlework with Li's mother under the candlelight.

Mother Li leaned over and said in a low voice: "Dongmei, you follow Miss to the front yard every day, have you seen what the master looks like now?" ”

Dongmei shook her head and said, "Steward Fu will send someone to watch it sooner or later, where can I see it." ”

Mother Li sighed: "Hey, it seems that it is a matter of time and evening, Miss is very tired these days, it is rare to go to bed early today, let's talk lightly." Look at that little face, it's a lot sharper. ”

Dongmei nodded and said, "Miss, not only is her body tired, but her heart is also tired. You see, if the wife knows, it will be a big fuss, and the young lady will not be good. ”

Mother Li said: "It's only been a few years of comfortable life, as soon as this old man leaves, what is the saying for the second master to be an official?" ”

"Ding worry, it will take three years." Dongmei Road.

"Yes, yes, it's Ding worry, this Ding worry, Aunt Zhou and the two little ones will definitely come back, and there will be no peace in the house." Li's mother said worriedly.

Dongmei hurriedly covered her mouth: "My mother, don't talk about this, let's get through the difficulties in front of me first, but I can't let Miss hear." ”

Mother Li looked at the middle of her eyes with concern, and said busily: "Mom knows, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Dongmei sighed: "Mom, we just have to wait for the young lady, grandma has been housekeeping in the house for several years, and she must guard against this day!" You should relax and restrain those maids well, keep their mouths tight, and don't make trouble for the young lady. Miss, she knows everything. ”

Mother Li nodded, and wanted to say a few words, but she was afraid that her voice would wake up the young lady, so she had to swallow it back into her stomach.

……

It was a cold night on the sixth day of the first month of November.

A quick knock on the door woke Jiang Xinyao, she suddenly felt bad, hurriedly got up and dressed, and went to the front yard.

Xin Yao walked quickly to her grandfather's yard, and saw that the courtyard gate was wide open, the lanterns were as bright as day, and all the subordinates were separated on both sides, and Jiang Fu and Jiang Quan's cries came from inside.

Xin Yao rushed into the bedroom and threw herself in front of the bed, and saw her grandfather lying upright, as if in her sleep, she only felt sad from her heart, and involuntarily knelt down, tears streaming down.

Dongmei stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xin Yao held back her tears, turned around and instructed Jiang Fu and Jiang Quan to give the old man a small funeral, set up a mourning hall, and sent someone to immediately notify Suzhou Mansion, the second master of Yangzhou, and relatives and friends in the clan. Send someone to take care of all the guest rooms, incense candles, paper and other things are ready.

Jiang Fu, Jiang Quan shed tears and went away,

Xin Yao touched her grandfather's hand and felt that there was still residual heat, it should have just gone. Thinking of the time when my grandfather went, there was no one to see him off, and I couldn't help but cry bitterly.

……

At that time, the houses and courtyards of the Jiang Mansion in Suzhou suddenly made a noise.

Jiang Hongjian rushed into Guiyun Hall with his hair scattered.

Zhou Yujing heard that the master had gone in his sleep, and he was in a hurry, and fainted straight. The maid, the mother-in-law was in a hurry.

At this time, Guiyuntang had gathered people from all rooms, holding their breath and waiting for his wife to speak.

Zhou Yuyan felt that his heart was empty, and there was no place to accommodate this heart in this world. She loved and hated the man all her life, and just left quietly.

What should she do, what should she do? Little by little, tears fell.

"Everyone go back to the room to pack their things, and leave in half an hour, one less, or late, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhou Yu's eyes said sharply.

After a pillar of incense, more than a dozen carriages set off from Jiang's mansion.

At the same time, Jiang Xing, the second master of Liukou Hutong, got the news of the death of his eldest brother, and quickly rushed to Qingyang Town with his family.

……

At this time, Mr. Jiang's funeral ended. Jiang Xinyao has changed into filial piety clothes and is just waiting for the people from Suzhou to come.

She summoned Mother Li, Dongmei and Yan Ming, and gently commanded a few words. The three of them nodded to indicate that they understood, and each went to do something without mentioning it.

At two o'clock, Jiang Hongjian helped his wife and fell down in front of Master Jiang, and everyone cried bitterly.

Zhou Yuyan looked at the man in front of him who was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, only to feel that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, his heart was piercing, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and everyone was in a hurry again.

Zhou Yuqing woke up faintly, pushed away the tea that Mama Qian brought to her mouth, and passed Jiang Fu to ask. Jiang Fu answered one by one.

Only then did everyone understand that the old man was already terminally ill, and the lamp was exhausted, so he only hid it from his wife.

Zhou Yuyan cried so much that her liver and intestines were broken, and her heart was broken. If we don't see each other again, we won't see each other again in death. After decades of husband and wife relationship, they even said they would abandon it, leave when they said they would, and they didn't give her any news at all, and now goodbye is separated by yin and yang, life and death.

Ruthless, Jiang Zhen, you are so ruthless!

Zhou looked at the man who was sleeping there motionless, and really wanted to pick him up and ask in a loud voice, why did she leave her alone? Why...... Now it's okay, I don't even know who to hate.

Gu Yuzhen looked around when she entered the mourning hall, she was eager to see her daughter. It's been five years, and her daughter has been away from her for five years, every day and every night, and this longing is painful.

Now that she has walked to her daughter in this way, the obsession in her heart is like a swift flood, and once it bursts, it will rush out.

Finally, in the corner of the mourning hall, she saw the thin and slender daughter dressed in filial piety. Gu Yuzhen burst into tears and whimpered.

Jiang Xinyao knelt in the corner and looked at her mother in the crowd, looking at her pear blossom and rainy face, she only felt that her heart was surging, and the mother and daughter met their eyes, and their hearts were stable.

The little boy kneeling beside Gu's side, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like a star, was secretly looking at her.

Jiang Xinyao understood that this was his younger brother Jiang Yuanchen, so she raised her eyebrows at him.

Jiang Yuanchen vaguely remembered that when he was two or three years old, his sister was frail and sickly, and she was bedridden all the year round, and she didn't see her a few times a year, so she was afraid that she would be sick. Looking at it now, although the skin is better than the snow and the eyebrows are clear, the filial piety clothes still look weak.

Jiang Yuanchen frowned slightly, and after a while, Xin Yao raised his eyebrows, and a warm current surged in the hearts of the sisters and brothers.

Not long after, Jiang Xing rushed to the mourning hall with all his children and cried in front of his eldest brother.

Zhou endured his grief and announced that he would stop his spirit for seven days, waiting for Jiang Hongsheng to come back for a funeral. The people in each room should act in accordance with the rules, not disorderly, and obey Jiang Fu's arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. After saying that, they began to cry, and everyone cried again, and then they went back to their rooms to settle down.

……

Since then, in all rooms of the clan, relatives and friends have come to mourn one after another.

The men of the Jiang Mansion ushered in the send-off, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground. No one noticed Xin Yao Jiang Zheng kneeling in the corner, looking coldly at these so-called relatives who had never met and pretended to be grieving. She felt melancholy, felt extremely ironic, and suddenly felt that life was alive, but Erer.

Three days later, Jiang Hongsheng hurried from Yangzhou when he heard the news, and immediately fainted in front of the spirit. Aunt Zhou even hugged her wife and grabbed the sky, grief-stricken, really singing and remembering. The crowd comforted for a long time before it stopped.

……

Jiang Xinyao really didn't want to see these people pretending in front of her grandfather, so she took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and went to the back garden.

In a few days, my grandfather will sleep here. He is a quiet man, and he must be impatient to listen to their howling, and with these flowers and plants, he will not be lonely.

Dongmei secretly came and saw the young lady standing under the begonia tree, and stepped forward and replied: "Miss, these days, only a few of the uncle's concubines are restless, and they often send people out to inquire. Master Xing's family is very stable, except for crying, the rest of the time stays in the room, and they don't pay attention to eating and drinking. The uncle went to the master's study several times behind his back, but because the door was locked, he only walked around a few times outside, but he didn't say anything. Miss, look ......."

Xin Yao nodded and said, "Well done, pass on my words, everyone has worked hard these days, and each person will be given an extra month of monthly silver." Let them pay more attention to the movement of the person who has just returned. ”

Dongmei stepped forward, approached Miss, and whispered, "Grandma asked Miss, can you see each other when you have time." ”

Xin Yao thought for a moment and said, "It's not proper, it's not too late to wait for the master to be buried." Tell my mother that my wife is full of anger and has nowhere to vent, so she should be cautious in her words and deeds at this time, and avoid going out and walking around with her brother so as not to suffer unjustified disasters. Tell Jiang Fu that while everyone is complete, he will do what his grandfather has told him, and he will have a lot of dreams at night. ”

Dongmei understood her mind and left in a hurry.
